Fans and the entertainment industry are still heartbroken over the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 36. Naturally, the attention turned to her family, especially her estranged mother, actress Lesley Vogel.
Days after Hayden’s family confirmed her passing on 16th August 2026 (Sunday), Lesley broke her silence, sharing her thoughts about her daughter’s death in an interview with NBC News. She said, “I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments, and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry – it is a struggle and it’s a very challenging industry and it’s not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path.”

The former soap opera star continued her statement, “I think it becomes very difficult to be true to yourself, and I think Hayden sadly lost her way, and I wish it were different. I wish she had stayed true to herself because she had many incredible attributes.” Netizens and fans have since reacted to Lesley’s comments, mostly expressing shock at how she reacted to her own daughter’s death.
Lesley was Hayden’s manager for most of her childhood career, which started when the late star was barely one year old. However, in her memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning”, released in May 2026, Hayden revealed that she and her mother had a turbulent relationship. She also said she had been estranged from her mother earlier this year but remained hopeful that the two could reconcile.
Hayden Panettiere is reacting to her mother’s scathing statement about her upcoming tell-all book, calling it “so false.” Lesley Vogel, Hayden’s estranged mother and former manager, said in a lengthy statement that she believes Hayden’s “present drama is partially to sell books” and claimed she went no-contact with her daughter after “20 years of trauma,” accusing Hayden of having a “personality ‘style’ which manifests as a need for control, entitlement and a lack of empathy.” Sitting down with ET, Hayden responded to that statement, saying it’s “so false.” The 36-year-old actress says she always wants to leave the door open to rebuild a relationship with her mother, but “she slammed that door pretty hard in my face.” Hayden explores her life as childhood star, working with her mother and more in her memoir ‘This Is Me: A Reckoning,’ out May 19. #haydenpanettiere#thisismeareckoning
On social media, netizens remarked that Lesley’s comment was cold and insensitive. Many also argued that Lesley was largely at fault for Hayden’s struggles since she pushed her to start acting at a young age. In her memoir, Hayden shared instances of her mother’s controlling behaviour, alleging Lesley once used superglue to attach her tooth so she wouldn’t lose an acting role.
In the same NBC News interview, Lesley also pointed fingers at Hayden’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. She said, “This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson”. The actor was previously sentenced to jail for domestic abuse charges. As he was the last person with Hayden, there’s speculation that he was involved in her passing.

Investigation into Hayden’s official cause of death is still ongoing. In the meantime, fans and celebrities continue to pay tribute to the late star, highlighting how loved and respected she was.

The programme also aired a special announcement video featuring the engaged couple dressed in traditional attire and the date of the ceremony.
Following the announcement, Bella and Syed Saddiq shared more information about their upcoming solemnisation. According to the couple, the ceremony will take place on Level 118 of the Menara Merdeka Maybank, the second tallest building in the world. The theme of the ceremony is all-white, infused with Arabic and Islamic elements.
Bella and Syed Saddiq will also hold a separate wedding reception in the same month, with other ceremonies in Kuala Lumpur, Muar and Sabah, where the couple are from. Notably, Syed Saddiq revealed that the preparation for their wedding only began after his court case concluded in July.
Since there are less than two months until the wedding, Syed Saddiq said they have to speed up the planning to ensure everything goes smoothly. The 33-year-old also showered his fiancée with praise, saying Bella took up most of the planning responsibilities despite both of them being occupied with their jobs.

Fans have since reacted to the wedding date announcement, wishing the couple all the best in their planning. Many also hoped that Bella and Syed Saddiq would livestream the event so fans could also join in the celebrations. All in all, the public expressed joy that the couple are finally tying the knot.
In case you’re wondering, Bella and Syed Saddiq got engaged on 28th March 2026 in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends. We also wish the couple all the best in their wedding planning, and we can’t wait for their big day.

Disney and Marvel Studios have officially slotted the highly anticipated Ghost Rider movie, starring Ryan Gosling for a worldwide theatrical premiere on July 28, 2028.
The announcement follows the film’s initial reveal at San Diego Comic-Con, where Gosling appeared onstage alongside Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to announce his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.While Comic-Con attendees were given a broad 2028 window, Disney has now claimed the late-July summer launch pad, a prime calendar weekend previously occupied by blockbuster hits like Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The project reunites Gosling with director Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine), following their collaboration on Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Starfighter.Screenwriter Jonathan Tropper has been tapped to pen the script.
According to Feige, the film materialized after Gosling brought a specific, comic-accurate vision directly to the studio.
“It was Gosling who had the vision,” Feige previously shared.“It was Gosling who had the pitch that won over Shawn, that had them come and pitch us this idea, which led to us on stage.”
The project serves as one of three Marvel titles slated for 2028, joining an untitled X-Men feature on May 5, 2028, and Black Panther 3 on December 15, 2028. An additional untitled Marvel project has also been penciled in for November 9, 2029.
We are still yet to find out if Gosling will be taking the helm of Johnny Blaze from Nicholas Cage or will he be playing Danny Ketch, another Ghost Rider who was introduced in the comics around the 90s, who also would’ve been the main Ghost Rider in the comics around the time Gosling was growing up.
Disney updated a number of theatrical dates for its live-action and animated films in addition to Marvel at D23. On March 10, 2028, Pixar’s Ghost Market will be released; on March 31, 2028, Tangled will be remade in live-action; on November 22, 2028, the animated feature Clay will be released; and on November 21, 2029, Coco 2 will be released. Additionally, the release date for Searchlight Pictures’ horror film Monitor has been pushed up to April 16, 2027.
Ghost Rider will officially hit theatres on July 28, 2028.

From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur — and Beyond
Twinkle Twinkle began its Southeast Asian journey in Singapore, where Dreamstar Isle at the POP MART Resorts World Sentosa store became its first permanent home in the region. Now, the journey continues in Kuala Lumpur with a new setting, new stories and the character’s first opportunity to meet Malaysian fans.
Singapore’s multicultural landscape and vibrant city life have given Twinkle Twinkle a place where it can keep reconnecting with friends. Now, as it arrives in Kuala Lumpur, Twinkle Twinkle is bringing its unique farm tales to the city. In this world, there is no one right way to be a farm or a character – each character has its own personality and represents a different kind of strength. Here in Kuala Lumpur, Twinkle Twinkle hopes to meet and connect with local fans, bringing different personalities and energies together to spark new inspiration, new energy, and stories that belong uniquely to this city.
Malaysia will not be the final destination. Twinkle Twinkle will continue travelling to more countries and cities, meeting new audiences through experiences shaped by different cultures and communities.
Every new destination may inspire another story, and every first meeting may become the beginning of a lasting connection.
